Topic: Scan results for Lauren

Hi Everyone,

Lauren had scans yesterday at U of M. She had minimal shrinkage of all her tumors except one tiny one that grew like .2 cm. We are very happy since she has only been on Xeloda for the past month. Her doctor now has her on Gemzar and Xeloda every two weeks. He also wants her to participate in a study where they biopsy the liver and check the cells to see what chemo will work best for her. She is happy to participate. I think that will happen in January. We are so happy to hear such great news around the holidays. Thanks for all of your prayers.

Love,-Pam

My beautiful daughter, Lauren Patrice, will live on in my heart forever.

What a great early Christmas present for your family! I'm very happy for you. Hopefully 2013 will bring the perfect combo of chemo and it will be on the shrinkage course to oblivion. Congratulations! Dianne
